brief_description
From the preface -- "This volume deals with the myths and legends of Babylonia and Assyria, and as these reflect the civilization in which they developed, a historical narrative has been provided, beginning with the early Sumerian Age and concluding with the periods of the Persian and Grecian Empires. Over thirty centuries of human progress are thus passed under review." Also has an interesting bit on spitting. Spitting as a cure-allis more efficacious from someone who has fasted.
